re: QB2

He doesn’t trust Throne to throw either. Neither needs to be the starter next season.

If the team is watching for his reaction every time he gets disappointed then he isnt much of a leader. Our team cannot carry the personality of 12 year old's conniption fit.

Have you not watched how Throne throws a hissy fit almost every game this season?

No I haven't.

This Is the thing that shocks me. All these guys have some mystical dream position in their heads so they won't make the switch until it's too late. Robby might start at QB like TJ did at a lower level, but Not in the SEC or Major football. Trovon Reed was determined to play offense, when I believe he could've been drafted at DB had he switched earlier. They all scramble pre-draft to find a position, but end up sitting with a sad face on draft night as the rounds go by. Robby has TWO years left after this. Best make it count

I get it. You spend your whole life playing a certain position and literally dream about it many nights. Tough to step back and look at it objectively.

You used to say this about TJ Finley vs Bo Nix

We’ll all be displeased while he’s tearing it up at Ole Piss next year

During the Vandy game, after being knocked flat on his back, I saw him sit up and slap his thighs and shout out after a sure, softly thrown ball right in the hands, was dropped missing a sure touchdown.

I was disappointed in his behaviour, I had preferred he waited til the receiver got back to the huddle, beat the living shat out of him, and said, now how does that feel, kinda like me getting the shat knocked out of me so I could throw you a beautiful....dropped....touchdown.

Is Freeze now saying this so Geriner doesnt transfer?

This is my guess. There’s going to be attrition at that position and Hugh will be looking for an upgrade in the portal, but I’m sure he wants as many bodies as he can get in the QB room. Especially since it will likely be wide open after next year (assuming next year comes down to Thorne vs transfer QB).

After the last two games, granted they have been beat up teams, I feel better about Thorne next year in general. We need receivers to hang onto passes and get the jump balls, but a season in continuity will make this offense look different with Thorne there.

I don’t think Thorne is a headman candidate at all, but I think he could win us 9 games.

Tbh, would you blame him? He outplayed Throne against aTm, thUGA, LSU and Ole Miss. But we also heard these rumors before, and they were debunked.

I do not believe the rumors were debunked. (not proven is different from Debunked). What rumor are you specifically pointing to?


Robby is 3-7 as a starter for Auburn. (3-6 last year and technically 0-1 this year since he started vs. Ole Miss).

Last year Robby was 123 of 250 for 49.2% (RTG 107). 2023 he is 14 of 26 for 53.8% (Improved RTG 118.4). LINK .

Payton is 117 of 183 for 63.9% and a RTG of 133.7 for 2023. (QBR of 60.9 which is 67th in the country). Robby is at a QBR of 53.4.

I assume you are saying TAMU last year, because this year Robby stunk, QBR of 18.6, 1 of 4 passing for 4 yards. But last year he also stunk against TAMU he was 6 of 13 for 60 yards and a QBR of 25.7. He also threw 1 TD, but had 2 INT.

We all agree that QB play has been subpar, but it was much more than the just the QB.
